Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling a hydraulically controlled slip differential.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the above problems by proposing a device for control of a differential which is particularly reliable, inexpensive and has a minimal bulk.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for controlling a hydraulically controlled slip differential housed in a casing, one of the output shafts of which is carried by a bearing inside the casing, and by a bearing external to this casing, characterized in that the output shaft is surrounded by a sliding tubular member located at the level of the internal bearing in the casing and by a sliding tube locked in rotation relative to the casing and bearing on one side on a means actuation supported by the bearing outside the casing and on the other side on said sliding tubular member which cooperates on one side with radial levers acting on discs coaxial with the output shaft to vary the slip of the differential, and on the other side with the sliding tube on which it is supported by means of an axial bearing stop.
  • the sliding tube consists of two sections of tube fitted and hooked by means of a system of the bayonet type or the like, and the free ends of which are immobilized in rotation by means respectively secured to the casing and the above-mentioned outer bearing.
  • the aforementioned actuating means is hydraulically controlled and comprises two pistons which slide in the outer bearing parallel to the output shafts and which each comprise a nozzle engaged in an opening formed in a flange secured to one of the sections of tube so allow both the axial displacement of the two tube sections and their immobilization in rotation.
  • the invention also relates to a vehicle with transverse powertrain comprising a differential one of the output shafts of which is an intermediate shaft carried by an external bearing, this vehicle comprising a device meeting one or the other of the characteristics above and being associated with the differential to control a variation of its slip.
  • a powertrain 1 which is integrated a differential 2 of a type known per se and housed in a casing 3 of which one 4 of the output shafts 4, 5 is carried on one side by a bearing 6 integral with and inside the casing 3, and on the other side by a bearing 7 outside this casing.
  • the bearing 7 supports hydraulic actuation means 8 of a tubular member 9 surrounding the output shaft 4 at the level of the inner bearing 6, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the differential 2 essentially comprises, as is known per se, a housing 2a driven by a toothed wheel 2b and containing a plurality of coaxial discs generally identified at 12, it being understood that the housing 2a also contains planetary gears 13 coupled to the output shafts 4 and 5 and also carrying discs cooperating with the discs integral with the differential housing 2a 2.
  • the output shaft 4 between the inner bearing 6 and the outer bearing 7 to the case 3 of differential 2 is surrounded by a sliding tube 14 which consists of two sections of tube 14a, 14b which are integral with one another.
  • the tube section 14a is locked in rotation relative to the casing 3 of the differential 2 by means of a lug or the like 15 fixed to the section 14a and capable of sliding parallel to the shaft 4 in an opening 16 made in the casing 3.
  • the sliding tube 14 bears on one side, by the section 14a, on the tubular member 9, and, on the other side, by the section 14b, on the hydraulic actuation means 8.
  • This tubular member 9 cooperates on the other side with the section 14a of the sliding tube 14 on which it bears by means of an axial stop at bearing 18.
  • the axial displacement of the section 14a stationary in rotation relative to the output shaft 4 will control the axial displacement of the tubular member 9 to act on the radial levers 17.
  • the two sections of tube 14a, 14b are, as can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, fitted one inside the other and hung by means of a system of the bayonet type or the like which will be described later in the explanations relating to assembly.
  • the actuating means 8 integrated into the outer bearing support 7 comprise two pistons 19 which are slidably mounted parallel to the output shafts 4, 5, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • Each of these pistons 19 has a nozzle 20 which engages in an opening 21 formed in a flange 22 forming the end of the tube section 14b on the side opposite to the tube 14a.
  • the ends 20 of the pistons 19 constitute a means of axial thrust of the section 14b and therefore of the section 14a, as well as a means of immobilizing in rotation the section 14b, it being understood that the section 14a is itself immobilized in rotation by lug 15, as previously explained.
  • a pressurization is carried out in the hydraulic circuit which terminates by the conduit 23 (see FIG. 3) in chambers 24 formed in the outer bearing support 7 and containing the sliding pistons 19. Consequently, the supply of hydraulic fluid in the chambers or cylinders 24 will cause the pistons 19 and therefore the tube sections 14b, 14a, and the tubular member 9 to rotate freely, thanks to the bearing 18, with the housing 2b of the differential 2. As a result this produces, by tilting the levers 17, a tightening of the discs 12 and therefore a reduction in the slip of the differential.
  • the flange 22 is brought into contact with the bearing 7, so that the openings 21 engage on the nozzles 20 of the pistons 19. Then, the two sections 14a, 14b are moved aside by threading the end 14c (FIG. 3) of the section 14a in the corresponding bore of the casing 3, until this end abuts against the opposite end of the tubular member 9 by means of the bearing 18.
  • variable slip differential control device in which the hydraulic control means are integrated into the external bearing supporting the output shaft of the differential, it being understood that the sliding control tube 14 surrounding the output shaft 4 can be easily assembled and disassembled.
  • This device is very easy to adapt, in particular to transverse powertrains comprising an intermediate transmission shaft carried by an external bearing.
